Description

Celebrate one of the most intriguing figures of the American frontier with this .999 fine silver round honoring Eleanor Dumont, a woman who defied convention and carved out her legend in the Wild West. Known throughout the mining camps as Madame Moustache for her distinctive facial hair and sharp demeanor, Eleanor was a savvy gambler, a charismatic businesswoman, and one of the few women to run her gambling house during the California Gold Rush.

This beautifully detailed coin features a refined portrait of Eleanor Dumont on the obverse, capturing her dignified presence and bold independence. The reverse echoes the spirit of the Wild West with a robust design: a longhorn skull centered over a sheriff’s badge, surrounded by crossed pistols, barbed wire, and a banner reading “Wild West Legends.” Radiating lines and classic frontier imagery bring the design to life.

A bit of history:
Eleanor arrived in Nevada City, California, in the early 1850s, charming miners with her elegance, intelligence, and unmatched skill at 21. Despite being a woman in a rough-and-tumble man’s world, she quickly gained respect—and a small fortune. Her life was a dramatic blend of independence, mystery, and heartbreak, making her a captivating symbol of the untamed West.

Whether you’re drawn by her story or her enduring legacy, this coin is a must-have tribute to a true pioneer of the frontier—elegant, fearless, and unforgettable.
